Wolf Watcher:
You have worked very hard to make this place become a dream come true and I would really like to see some pictures when the pond is full of water and fish and the vegetation has recovered. I can only try to imagine how much work there really was beyond the pictures. You have my respect for the work you have done. Joe
JW_Halverson:
You played with Tonka trucks when you were a kid, didn'tcha?
Stringman:
Wow, John your hard work is really starting to pay off!!

Yep Scott it has been quite an undertaking. Here are a couple of pictures from today. I regret to say I have a half a days work tomorrow to finish. Just as I started to top the dam with the bobcat the track came off. I managed to push the cat to the top of the dam but for the next 3 hour I fought to put the track on. Because of the bad situation with the cat on the pipe and close to the water using the tractor to push back the roller was not an option. So I hit it with a five pound till it moved in enough to get a lever on it. This was my fist time on a mini excavator and one has to be very careful on that very steep angle.

Other than seeding I think it is done! Enjoy the final pictures and again note the angle on the back side that the excavator went down and then back up....I must be crazy.
The final picture is of the area we took dirt from. This area is now tent camping.
